New story! Icarus and Apollo New series! Pride High

Most of us are familiar with the myth of Icarus. It’s that old “don’t aim too high” myth that needed a serious overhaul. So I took it upon myself to fix it by making it MUCH more gay. The result is my latest novella, Icarus and Apollo. In it, a handsome young man—Icarus—becomes obsessed with attracting the attention of a gorgeous god—Apollo—no matter how unlikely their love might seem. Of course there are plenty of complications that get in the way, but hey, that’s nothing a pair of wax wings can’t fix. But like the story of old, will Icarus find himself falling in love while also falling to his death? The answer can be found in the story itself, which is now available here.
I’m also happy to announce that I’ve begun work on a new series called Pride High. I consider it the spiritual successor to the Something Like… series, since it’s also about a group of young people in the nineties who are attempting to navigate the game of love. The first book is already complete and will be out later this year, but you can read it RIGHT NOW over on Patreon, where I’m sharing four chapters a week. That’s in addition to all the other goodies that are available there. If you’ve ever wished you could’ve given an author feedback before they published a story, this is your chance. You also have the opportunity to see you name included in the front of the final book. And it’s a great way to keep this fool writing the kind of stories you (hopefully) love. You can become my patron for as little as two bucks a month. It might not sound like much, but it sure makes a difference to me. Pride Month is a great time to read queer books by queer authors. Start turning those pages, my friends!
